Running too Rich?

Well i have an EVO IX and it seems to run really rich. it has TBE, intake, BOV w/ upper i/c pipe, mini battery, and an ecu reflash but it shoots out so much black smoke and i was wondering if anyone else is having these problems?

Evo's run rich, the black smoke is normal. A rich tune is a safe tune. The cutting out above 5,000rpm is not normal. Have you made any changes to the car sinch it was tuned?

i did have an mbc on there and i took it off so i wouldnt be tempted to turn it up more and since mine is an mr it has the factory temp gauge and when it gets hot it starts to run wierd when its cool it runs fine. i might just need a tune im not sure.
